- Plugged seven memory holes, one of which was fairly severe. After several hours of running, the only leaks are on Sparkle’s part. ([59])
- Possibly fixing iMac G5 support, which probably broke during the transition away from AppleScript. Going to need confirmation on this. Everything else appears to work. ([60])
Update: I had previously uploaded a version that identified itself as 1.0b8, despite being 1.0b9. Simply run Sparkle’s update check again to remedy this.

So, does it work now?

I’ll check that as soon as I’m at home.

Beside all the MenuTemperature Postings: How hot runs your MacBook Pro Chucker?
Comment on May 24th, 2006 at 6:25 pm
The hottest MenuTemperature has recorded was 82 (83?) degrees Celsius, and that’s only when compiling stuff for extended periods of time. During normal operation, it’s between 60 and 70 degrees. When idle for some time, or not kept very busy, it sometimes goes as low as 45, and when kept completely idle for hours (i.e., I’m asleep), I’ve seen it go well below 30.
The SMC firmware update, in my experience (and that of others), lowered temperatures on average by about 5 degrees each. It’s not entirely clear, however, whether it did so by merely changing fan thresholds. (Still, the fan is almost entirely inaudible for most of the time. While the white iBook G3 was even more quiet, this is still very, very acceptable and nothing like most laptops I’ve experienced, much less desktops.)

63°. ’nuff said.

In my experience, unless the machines are loaded and the fans rev up, the noisiest component is the hard drive (7200rpm). It sounds like a fan, even though it doesn’t have one.

(Right now, having slept about 7 hours, the CPU is at 21 degrees. The MacBook Pro’s surface — keyboard, etc. — feels positively cold. Very nice.)

I have the same 7200 RPM hard drive as Adam, and I can confirm that its running noise sounds like a (fairly silent and not highly-pitched) fan. It’s hardly an obnoxious noise though, and barely audible unless everything else in the room is quiet. The fans don’t go on (to an audible level) a lot for me at all. When compiling, sure, but not during general use.
